Great experience! Very knowledgeable about my particular trees. Special issues surrounding the service required thoughtful consideration as to how to accomplish the job without disturbing surrounding landscape. They were willing to take the time to do so as to avoid damage. Highly recommend this company.

A crew of 8 came and made our trees look beautiful in no time. The crew was polite, professional, knowledgeable and left the area cleaner then when they found it. We will definitely be using them again.

I would highly recommend MRC Landscape for any new landscaping design. Teresa and her team were very quick to respond to my request. They came at a time that was convenient for me and gave me a thoughough review of what needs to be done with my yard. She also asked me to select some plants I liked so they can incorporate in the design. I loved that she was there the entire process if I had questions or requested changes. My design is beautiful and I'm very happy with MrC landscaping.

Before deciding to hire Horacio we sought out quotes from multiple landscaping companies. His prices were the BEST without compromising quality! We did a complete renovation of our landscape. Horacio came up with a beautiful low maintenance plan like I requested which looks breathtaking in person! We are new to our community and our neighbors just can't stop complimenting our new lawn.
I'm writing this review a four months later because I wanted to be sure that the landscaping settled and grew without any of the plants/sod dying.
The lawn is very beautiful, healthy, and offers vibrant colors. Horacio and his crew did an amazing job! 100% RECOMMENDED!!

I first hired David to build a wooden deck for me. It turned out beautifully. I have a small one-bedroom apartment and this deck increased my living space substantially. I've enjoyed many hours of relaxation and dining on my deck.
I was so pleased with his service and prices that I hired him for lawn maintenance and tree-trimming at my elderly mother's home. The house always looks tidy...at least on the outside, lol.
David is always responsive and very easy to work with. His prices are competitive and his work is outstanding. I highly recommend him for any landscape and design work you may need.

I would recommend Sunshine Lawn Beauty for all of your landscape needs. I have used other services before and was not really impressed with the final outcome; both price wise and satisfaction of the completed job. So I thought I would give these guys a try. And, wow! I was impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail and of course the finished job. The prices were very reasonable and competitive. I most certainly will use them again in the future!!

I've used many landscaping companies in the past and had multiple problems with sloppy work and language barriers. Jay displayed none of the that. He was professional, prompt and very reasonable in cost. This company won't disappoint you.

We hired Lawn Enforcement Professionals for one of the residential rental properties that we manage. Upon meeting the two owners of this company we were immediately impressed. The professionalism from both Don and Matthew was obvious from the get-go. Lawn Enforcement Professionals did such an exceptional job on the first project, we are currently canceling our current landscaping company on ALL of the properties we manage and transferring service to Lawn Enforcement.
We cannot say enough nice things about this company. As of now, we HIGHLY recommend this company to everyone we meet!

It is very hard to find tree cutters who are professional and work very well. I tried other local companies for estimate. Do NOT HIRE the company Trees In Need, run by Herman Smith, they give a cheap estimate but are highly unprofessional and will take half the money upfront and you dont know if they will even show up or leave the work unfinished and won't pick their phones after they get their money.
Prestige Landscape and Carlos did not take any money upfront, they said they will take upon completion of satisfactory work and thats how it happened. They have professional workers who know what they are doing and they take great care in saving other valuable trees on the way while they cut the trees. Most other companies will destroy all other trees that come on their way. They have their own bobcat, lift and their own mulcher to mulch your cut branches so you can use the mulch for your garden.
The estimate was also reasonable. I think overall they did a good job. I am attaching pictures. But there is room for improvement. The pay was per project so i didnt mind if they take a day or two days and the work was a lot. It was getting dark after the day's work so workers were hurrying up. I saw that they wanted to clean up the land , they took big branches away but had left small branches and leaves and i needed to clean the floor/land myself the other day. Other than this it was a very nice work and will hire them again.

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What does a landscape contractor do?

Landscape contractors work from outdoor architectural or design plans to build and install hardscaping or softscaping for the client, much as a general contractor uses architectural designs to build a house. Landscape contractors are experts in soil drainage, grading, hardscaping (installing concrete paths and retaining wall, building ponds, etc.), and planting. They have heavy equipment such as excavators and tractors to prepare the land as needed.

Some landscape contractors are also landscape architects or landscape designers. The titles can be compared with those in home construction: A building or landscape architect must earn a specialized architecture degree and pass an exam to have a license. A designer — whether an interior designer or a landscape designer — does not usually require a license to work. Landscape contractors are not required by law to work from plans designed by a landscape architect, so you may work directly with the landscape contractor to specify the work you’d like done. The national average cost for large-scale landscaping projects is $10,160. Pricing can vary greatly depending on the project scope, materials and design.

How do you find a good landscape architect?

Hiring a landscape architect is an investment in your home. Landscaping can reduce water bills, improve your home resale value, add to your daily living experience and significantly boost curb appeal. A landscape architect will draw the designs for your new landscape; you’ll want to hire a landscape contractor to carry out the plans. Many companies provide design-build landscaping services, with a company architect creating plans for your vision and the landscape contractor executing the vision. With the proper academic background and licensing, a person can be both landscape architect and landscape contractor. Here are a few tips for finding a great landscape architect:

Research online portfolios and find several landscape architects whose work interests you.

Read online reviews of client experiences.

Research whether the landscape architects you are interested in are currently licensed and in good standing with the licensing board, and check whether any complaints have been issued against them. Each state will have their own searchable database. For example, you can search for California landscape architects via the state’s Department of Consumer Affairs.

Request bids from your selected landscape architects.

Hire the one you like the most, taking care to have a clearly written contract outlining scope of work.

What should you look for when hiring a landscaper?

Landscaping can be costly — though it usually pays off in curb appeal and home resale value — so finding a landscaper who is worth the investment is important. When hiring a landscaper, look for proven success with the type of results you want. For example, if you know you want a drought-tolerant yard, research websites, reviews and portfolios that showcase beautiful drought-tolerant yards that the landscaper has installed. In addition to relevant experience, you’ll want to find a landscape contractor who has good client reviews. Good communication skills are another important quality in a landscape contractor, since everything from plant selection to hardscape installation needs to be discussed and agreed upon. A landscape contractor who is reliable, easy to understand and able to listen to what you want will help make the process seamless and enjoyable.
